Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

yes he is insane

Get ready for Herman Cain/Michael J. Anderson 2020.

that's gotta be an intern's doing

the fucks are at it again

Too lazy to search for the fwwm thread but it's getting a criterion release. I won't be buying it as I don't need a third copy of that film, but I'm glad to see it because it's final proof that its critical turnaround is complete and also because it means that more people will be able to see the missing pieces and between two worlds without having to buy a whole twin peaks bluray set

Also, that blu-ray set apparently just went out of print; all the more reason for them to release it.

yeah personally i'm thrilled, i never pulled the trigger on the box

I own the Hong Kong bootleg of the pilot, the original 1st season DVD without the pilot (but with commentaries and beautiful menu screens), the 2nd season DVD, the 30 ep gold set, and the original FWWM DVD without the Missing Pieces, so yes, this is great news.

Never felt I needed to own a network series from 1990 on blu ray, as beautiful as it looks compared to most other series of the time. Maybe that's a wrong assumption.

And I still have the terrible looking VHS set too.

I can confirm that it looks gorgeous on bluray. Not really comparable to how other series from that era would probably look in HD, imo.

yeah the HD transfer is good. I stole it from the internet but it looks great.

I realized this morning in the shower what I'm sure has already been mentioned throughout parts of the internet that I don't frequent: Cole's drawing almost certainly references Buckhorn.

anyone have a gif of Cole's drawing?

Someone animated it

What shall we call Cole's deer doodle?

Interesting, although I didn't think of that castle as the White Lodge. Seems like it would just as shitty to be there as the Black Lodge.

Uh-oh. Anyone else notice that Richard Horne is driving a beat up...Saturn in Part 10? #TwinPeaks https://t.co/Pc6KR8EnrV

Thinking about Moby's appearance again, probably a lot of people don't know that his first (major?) single was built upon "Laura Palmer's Theme":

I've been making horrible jokes about that on facebook this whole season. Stopping now that he's appeared.

I would say almost every person on this thread knows that at least

having never knowingly listened to Moby before I was mercifully ignorant of it

The "twin peaks archive" twitter account is tweeting out some interesting rumours atm (very spoilery if at all true - stuff I'd rather not know about for sure, but I can't unsee it)

Episode 7 Easter egg related to the airplane windows

Lol @ that nonsense

"drink your garmonbozia"

Two songs that sync beautifully:

laura palmer's theme with damn, i wish i was your lover...it's that opening synth

Notice how the spaces within the letters R and O in “Frost,” and the P, R, O, D, and O in “productions” are sometimes filled with white, similar to the masking of the airplane windows.

Here’s a quick transcription of the pattern in the Lynch/Frost Productions outro:

O, PR, O, ROO, O, PRO, R, D, R, OD, PR, PRO, PRO, RO, PROD, D, R, ROD, O, PR, RO, ROO, PR, O, RO, RO, D, PR, PR, RO, PROD, D, O

UPDATE: Seven letters are used, so we can also sequence it like this:

0100000, 0011000, 0100000, 1100001, 0100000, 0011100, 10000000, 0000010, 1000000, and so on…

nope

What if you run it backwards

Dorp dorp dorp

Just finally got to this week's episode. Do I have a hearing problem or did the Mitchum brothers decide to arrange a meeting with "that Brando guy"???

i think he says, "now i know how brando felt"

Suicide!! That's talent!

Still alive...

(MOTORCYCLIST)

He prefers 'motorcycle enthusiast'.

I've been trying to dig up contemporaneous newspaper and magazine articles about OG TP online. I was rather impressed (since most people seemed completely in the dark) by one newspaper article I found where the writer laid out the case for Leland as the killer in much the same way that Cooper did some time before the truth was finally revealed.

I don't think "Still alive" is so crazy - I could see being suspicious about the "identical twin cousin", and hey that's what happens in the movie "Laura"...

The thing about 1990 twin peaks is you can go back and laugh at the insanely dumb usenet theories and garbage contemporaneous takes bit now we are living through it

*but

My trawl through old TP-related articles has been a little disappointing inasmuch as I've been looking for takes that were completely clueless and wildly off the mark but haven't found many. Although I did find an article from a college paper that suggested to readers who were looking for other challenging shows of high quality that they should check out Head of the Class.

that was a typo, it was supposed to say Parker Lewis Can't Lose

Ha. While I don't think there's clues in there, Twin Peaks surely must have a special social media crew right? To coordinate the clues being sent out, maybe even infiltrating in fan forums or whatever? There must be a lot of wacky theories out there to make them laugh. But, I can also imagine a scenario where a big clue/easter egg they carefully crsfted into an episode does not get noticed, so someone of the show will put it out there on a forum or twitter incognito, right?

nah

't Was an honest question, but I'll gladly believe you.

It's just that part of Lynch's schtick is resisting interpretation, so I can't really see him being okay with promoting any specific angle in public

Yeah that's probably true.

Coordinating social media usage by cast members probably not even necessary when most of them don't even know themselves where the fuck this is going

haha yes.

tbh this is also why I find some of the "look at THIS hidden clue! What does it MEAN?!" sort of stuff ridiculous, these kinds of takes seem to ignore Lynch's general M.O., which has never really involved burying "hidden" clues using complex cryptographic methods. He trafficks in imagery and synchronicities and parallels and encourages drawing connections that work on this kind of dream-logic level, but he is not Vince Gilligan, his stuff is generally not designed like some mechanistic, clockwork puzzle that buries easter eggs to reward the obsessive viewer (a good ex. here is the acrostic Gus Fring clue in the show titles of a recent season of Breaking Bad - Lynch would never do that shit)
